Comedy Nights With Kapil is an Indian Hindi-language sketch comedy and celebrity talk show hosted and produced by comedian Kapil Sharma. It was on-air on Colors TV amid 22 June 2013 to 24 January 2016.[2] Many of the episodes feature celebrity guests who usually appear to promote their latest films in a comedy-focused talk show format. On 25 September 2013, a fire broke out on the sets of the show at Film City in Goregaon causing the entire set to collapse and an estimated loss of 20 Crores.[3] Following the fire, two episodes were shot on sets of Bigg Boss in Lonavla.[4][5] In September 2013, the show became India's highest rated scripted TV show.[6] At the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year awards, Sharma was awarded the Entertainer of the Year award for 2013.[7]

After a successful run of three years, Kapil Sharma decided to end the show after creative differences with the Colors TV. The last episode aired on 24 January 2016.[8] In August 2016, Colors re-telecast old episodes of the show in their Sunday afternoon time slots due to low target rating points besides stiff competition with Kapil.[9][10]

The show is adapted in Kannada as Majaa Talkies and hosted by Srujan Lokesh. This show is aired on Colors Kannada, the Kannada Channel owned by Colors TV.[11]
